Safety is always of utmost importance when working in the public sector, but especially for those in congressional offices. As congressional staff experience more and more confrontational situations – in person, online, maybe even in the community – we hope you will join us for this important conversation. This webinar will provide insightful, expert guidance on how to strengthen your well-being and resilience and more effectively manage stress and personal safety concerns.

Topics to be addressed include:

• Positive Self-Care Strategies
• Proactive Management of Pre- and Post-Event Concerns
• Best Practices in Building a Cautious (not Fearful) Culture
• Management Tips for Handling Personal Safety Concerns
